Bug#601274: vorbis-tools: vorbiscomment should allow for delimiter other than newline

[Rafael Cunha de Almeida]

Package: vorbis-tools
Version: 1.2.0-5rafael1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

When vorbiscomment reads from a file, it would be nice if it could use a
delimiter other than newline. That way a metadata field value could have
a newline (which is the case for lyrics, for instance).

I wrote a patch that does just that. I tested it on version 1.2, but it
seems that version 1.4 of vorbiscommand doesn't change anything
significant. Feel free to send it upstream, apply to debian package or
just ignore it :P.
